OK MADDOG WHY NOT BUY the town and get 100,000 people to live there and declare it your own state? I know there is a constitutional ban on creating states from existing states... But if we wanted to we could claim INdependance from the US and own what ever damn weapons we wanted too....
Nice thought.... M-16's, FA Ak-47's, MP-5's, FA L1A1's, CETMES, G3's, 1919's, M-60's, Grenade Launchers, Rockets, Big 50-calibers... etc.
And Handgun Control Inc. Would Be Banned.
Ideal world almost.[uzi]

That has been tried before, and without much success.
You would have much greater luck buying an island nation that is already independant.
But hey! If the S ever HTF, we will have the same deal here. (Your SHTF scenario may vary)

Unless there was a legally recognized town in place at an earlier time, one house and adjacent buildings don't meet the requirements for a "town". What has happened around here is someone builds a mobile home park in an unincorporated area, gets just enough people to qualify to call an election then votes itself into existence. The owners control all the affairs and it usually consists of a few acres with trailers and a liquor store. The liquor store makes mountains of money. These mobile home cities set up on the outskirts of a "dry" community and get rich selling booze to Baptists.
BTW how's that firearm-focused place in Nevada (Frontsight?) doing? I think it would be a hoot to do a similar thing with firearms.

That's exactly what has happened here. It's a mobile home town called Knollwood. It's about 100 mobile homes and a beer/liquor store/gas station.

Yup, Fronsight in Pahrump NV. As far as I know the Phase 1 area is already sold. Mainly CA folks. Go figure.
I am up for this little town in TX. I would also like to be elected Treasurer. Or at the very least town Constable.

Hmmm, That would be a first. You would have every sociologist in the nation down there.
Write Dubya and see if we can't get a law writen calling us a TEST community for capitalism. In other words we will remain untouched and see how far we get as compared to the nation. I gaurentee you if they did that, we would have every large Company in the US HQ in our city overnight. hahaha. I like it.
It would be manufacturing as far as the eye could see. You would have to trade your dollars for Gold when you came into town. There would be an Atomic Reactor supplying the town with electricity. Hmmm, A person could get use to that. In 50 years our city would be larger then NY.

At least yours had the good taste to pick a real name. Ours chose to name itself "Mobile City". [%|]
